THE NATIVE VILLAGE THAT HID HERNANDO DE SOTO’S FIRST CAMP IN AMERICA
The sword pommel was the dramatic moment at the end of a much longer process.
EIGHTEEN YEARS OF SEARCHING
Blanton had been working on the de Soto question for approximately eighteen years.
That length of time changes the meaning of the discovery.
Archaeology is often portrayed as a sudden discovery.
A shovel hits a treasure.
A dramatic artifact appears.
Everyone celebrates.
